This is, without a doubt, the stupidest thread I’ve ever read. What makes you think that the ability to run text through a hex to ascii converter makes you anything even remotely like a hacker? At best, it makes you look like a poseur piece of ****.

You want to hack? Pick up a book, teach yourself 3 or 4 programming languages, read RFCs 789, 791 and 793, learn to shell script, get off your mommy’s windows box and make a piece of **** computer from 5 years ago run on linux or *BSD. By the time you’ve accomplished that, you will have the basic understanding of what most hackers know. Then, after you’ve read through and learned all that stuff, find a problem you see every day. It can be a big one, it can be a small one, it really doesn’t matter. Your job is going to be to solve that problem and make it easier for the next guy. You’re going to want to keep someone from having to reinvent the wheel. Hackers don’t break websites, they keep other people from destroying them.

If you want to pretend that you’re a hacker, download a few tools, thrash a few websites and just call the FBI and tell them where you are because you’re not smart enough to hide yourself anyway.

Do not suffer from illusions that you’re some kind of 1337 H4X0R because you’re playing this game. You are playing a game. What you do here does not change the fact that you know nothing about how your computer works and you think that anyone believes the bull**** you post on the internet.

Learn your ****, ****es

Thank you for the plethora of contempt you’ve brought to this thread, despite that it’s already been brought up that running ASCII through a binary of hex translator ≠ hacker, and that this entire thread is completely overdone.

We even talked about how to hacker “clbum” in this game, in no way represents an actual “hacker”, both the original definition as a computer and programming enthusiast, as well as the pop culture interpretation as being evil and malevolent with a computer.

Feel free to add to this thread, but please keep it in a constructive manner, and not by contempt.

More like STFU and learn something.

I’ll switch to plain English, and use small words, so you don’t need to put in too much effort to follow. Try to stay with me.

As MeatLoafFan and I were already discussing, the Forumwarz “Hacker” is, in fact, just a script kiddie. That’s why “Hacker” attacks on forums are on par with posting shock images and insults. The attitude of a Forumwarz “Hacker” is, logically enough, a script kiddie’s mbumive, unjustified sense of superiority at throwing a high-tech brick through a forum’s plate glbum window.

That is why, if you look, the most popular option on the poll is the truncated binary option. It was originally intended to be “No, and I can read binary, so I am a real hacker.” It got cut off for obvious reasons, I found that hilarious, and left it. Right now, more people are voting for ”No, and I can read binar011110” than both other options combined, for ****’s sakes. That is 100% in character.

Now, I could go all Nerd-fight on you, and point out that I know more than a dozen programming languages, from 80i86 bumembler through COBOL, out LISP and into C#. I could point out that I was debugging professional PL/I code at age 7. I could mention how I nearly wasn’t allowed to take AP Comp Sci at my highschool they taught it on the VAX used for grade storade and I’d blown through the laughable “security” on the machines used for the prereq to hand in my final project before it was bumigned (though the only real “security” for the prereq clbum was ignorance and VMS is a hard nut to crack). I got a 5 on the AP, for the record, and we were still forced to use Pascal back then.

Being a hacker isn’t about what manuals you’ve read, what conferences you’ve attended, what OS you use, or whether you’ve cobbled a machine together out of spare parts. It’s about how you think. It’s about naked intellectual curiosity wedded with the urge to tinker. It’s about seeing a system and wanting to know how it ticks, wanting to push and test it and play with it. It’s about seeing patterns other people don’t know exist and doing something cool with the knowledge of them. There’s a whole catalog of MIT pranks that never involved a computer, but were certainly “hacks” of a system.

Hackers don’t have a mandatory task before them, whatever you may think. It’s a mindset, not a job.

TL;DR: You’re a bumhurt killjoy fabulous person, and you need to take that Williams tube of your bum. Also, Vanil-Choco binary is surprisingly funny for those with the right sense of humor.

He who argues with morons might take care, lest he thereby become a moron.

And if you gaze for long into the Internet, the Internet gazes also into you.

What browser are you on? That should have been invisible and should have automatically logged you out. Also, you might want to take that image out of your own post.

Chrome; I saw a broken image and it was logging me out. And it’s not necessary for me to edit my posts when they can be “mysteriously” edited by themselves Log in to see images!-MLF- edited this message on 04/22/2009 6:48PM
